It's AW350M3 Outside.


You may be hiding in your room,

patiently waiting for time to pass

or for someone to ask you if you are okay.

You may be softly crying

and hugging your favorite stuffed toy,

wishing that you were anything else.

But darling, you must realize that

you are running

from the world outside.

There is a bright side to all,

including even the night stars that look

as if they are about to fall.

Take a walk outside and smell the air

that anxiously asks you to come

and bathe in its breeze.

You finally listen.

As you crawl to the door, a voice calmly says,

"Do not forget... as you have yet to see

that around you,

everything is awesome. "
